five's afternoon films are, if anything, worse. they are all sponsored by Sterident and feature those annoying bookend ads with a cheetah who sounds like terry thomas making various teeth related jokes.

I have just remembered which advert provokes the SCREAMING RAGE THROWING THINGS AT THE TELEVISION RAGE:
"Hello Auntie!"Kim Catrall!" (if it's really her niece is she really going to greet her by full name?)"Why can't I find a decent MANG!?!?!?" (is this supposed to be lampooning Kim or her character?)"Here, practise on this tea" (GARG GARG KILL KILL!!!) "Don't do that, Kim" (Didn't she just tell her to practise on the tea?!?!?
Words cannot describe how much I hate this advert.

Then there's the car ad where the chubby test driver gets so excited driving he starts screaming with joy. Except his screams of joy are more like the screeches of a lust-crazed gibbon.

the other one, the one with the babies 'why can't technology be as simple as the box it comes in?', 'why can't phones last a month, i want to talk to all the girls'. ick.
the wax virgin adverts. odd that they have to add a hint of machismo into something so feminine.

Not a TV ad, but still really really REALLY irritates me. That car advert (Audi?) with all the planets of the solar system - BUT THEY'VE GOT THE ORDER WRONG AND REVERSED VENUS AND MARS!!!
I don't know why that winds me up so much, but it does.

Back on the normal side of things, I still am the only person who likes the man in the Phones 4 U ads. He's crazy, yes, but he seems to have enormously strong roots in the community.
